<p>Hi there, <br>
I acquired one of my grandfather's camera's - a Yashica-A TLR. Awesome, right? It is great and I just purchased a ridiculous amount of film for a new series (super exciting!), however tonight as I was cleaning the body, I went to test the shutter release and...nothing. The shutter is closed, and I can move the lever back and forth, however it seems as though it is not catching. I read to never leave the shutter cocked and well...a friend of mine was examining the camera and that may have happened and then hit got jostled??? Ahhh I just don't know.<br>
With that being said- couple of questions...is this something I may be able to fix on my own? I've noticed I may be able to lift the front of the camera off to investigate but I'm not willing to destroy this camera based on a hunch. If that isn't a feasible option, does anyone know how much it might cost to get this repaired? I'm hoping it would be a simple fix but who knows...Any help would be very much appreciated! </p>
